Beginnings

He comes from a musical family who encouraged him to sing. After winning "Beca por Talento de Gratuidad Total", he earned a scholarship to go to an arts school where the director Patricio Prieto López gave him the name Pavarotti, encouraging him to study opera. At 14 he became main vocalist for the polyphonic choir of the Pentecostal Methodist Church of Maipú. After graduating at 18, he took part in a number of musical events in Chile and in other Latin American venues. In October 2007, he sang "Nessun Dorma" and the then mayor of Alberto Undurraga promised financial aid, and based upon that, he applied to the Faculty of Arts at the University of Chile, majoring in Classical Singing supervised by Chilean soprano Lucía Gana.

He released his own independent album Sueños in April 2009.
